Request: Imagine being Jim's daughter and dating Bruce. You guys go swimming one summer day. After a little while Alfred and Jim go looking for you and they find you to in the pool goofing around and being cute?
Warnings: None.
Author’s Note: I love this request! It’s such a cute idea and honestly I always want more pool requests. Like, if I was Batmom you’d find me at the pool almost 45% of the time. (I know this isn’t a Batmom request but still.) Also, I tried to find a gif from the scene where Bruce is practicing holding his breath but I couldn’t *insert sad emoji*
Y/A/N: Your Aunt’s Name
(if you don’t have an Aunt- just put in any name)
“Bet I can beat you to the other side!” You say to Bruce as you come up from the water, flipping some hair out of your eyes.
“Uh-huh, okay. We’ll see about that!” Bruce says as he wades over to the closest edge of the pool.
“Mmhmm, we’ll see.” I repeat to myself as I make my way over to where he’s waiting.
Mentally I go back to all those years I was on the swim team, learning all the different strokes. Of course Freestyle was the easiest and probably the fastest stroke to get me to the other end. However, should I suggest we do something different? Backstroke only? Nah... Maybe later.
“Ready?” Bruce asks as I make my way over to the edge, readying myself to kick off the wall in a minute.
I haven’t been on the swim team in years, so I might be out of practice, but this doesn’t stop my confidence from overflowing my body as back when I was on the swim team I was always the fastest, the strongest and most diligent swimmer.
“Yeah,” I breathe out as I look to him, waiting for the count-down.
“Okay, go!”
I push off the wall and lift my right arm up to quickly point it and dive in, I follow with my other arm, making sure to keep my fingers close together with no room for water to flow through and slow me down. I breathe out underwater, turning my head I breathe in and kick my legs as fast as they can go.
I turn my head to the left and look to see Bruce is a little bit ahead of me. Oh hell no. I pick up my pace and urge myself to go faster, making my strokes stronger in hopes to propel myself farther forward with each stroke.
I focus on my pace and don’t even realize that I’m practically at the other end already. As my fingers bump into the wall I stop my motions and jump up, hands soaring high above my head. “I won!” I let my body fall back into the water, letting the water catch me as my head goes under, letting myself feel the cool embrace of the water latching onto my body. It’s strange how water is so amenable to any form it’s given, any element it interacts with, and yet- I don’t know... it’s just fascinating in a sense.
I hear Bruce from underwater and come up, “what’re you laughing at?”
“You’re just... cute... you know that?” He says with a tiny blush scorching his cheeks before he splashes a wave of water at me probably in hopes of distracting me from what I’d already seen.
“Hey!” I exclaim as I push a wave of water back at him.
“Do you want to play ‘Tea Party’?” I ask Bruce, stopping his shenanigans as he gives me a quick confused look before asking.
“What’s that?”
“It’s a game where everyone- only the two of us in this case- go underwater and pretend to have a tea party- BUT- BEFORE you say no- it’s to see who can hold their breath the longest.... we did it in swim team.” I quickly explain, not wanting an instant “no” from Bruce because it sounds dumb and pointless.
“No wonder you won- you were on swim team,” he teases “and yeah, sure. It sounds kind of stupid but why not?” I giggle at his words.
“Yeah, it kind of is. But it’s to see how long you can hold your breath and improve, so... yeah.”
“Ready?”
“Okay... Now!” I jump up to push myself farther underwater due to buoyancy. I try to keep myself underwater by pushing the water up. I grab my little teacup and pretend to drink, putting it back on it’s lovely little saucer which I could imagine perfectly in my head. I try not to laugh as Bruce pretends to drink his tea with his pinky up, all dainty and proper, I could imagine Alfred saying.
Jim Gordon’s POV
“I could’ve sworn they were in here a minute ago Mister Gordon.” Alfred says confused as he looks around.
Questions couldn’t have taken too long to be answered before loud sounds of water splashing and gasps are heard from the pool. I turn back around and see Bruce and my daughter laughing. She hits him on the chest, “You cheated! You made me laugh!”
“Did not! I didn’t force you to do anything,” he taunts from afar as he grabs her wrist, keeping her close to him.
“Uh-huh, okay Mr. Technicality” she smirks at him.
I see Alfred sigh a little, before composing himself. “Uh, Miss Y/N? Your Father is here.” She looks over to us and quickly retracts her hand from it’s prior position and waves.
I wave back, “Your mom told me to pick you up cause apparently Aunt Y/A/N, is coming over for dinner.”
“Oh, okay!” Y/N swims over to the side of the pool and pushes herself out and onto the edge.
“Thank you for having her over” I direct to no one in particular.
“Anytime, Mister Gordon” Alfred responds with a smile as he looks back to me.
a/n: helloooo i feel like i’ve just been poppin out imagine posts but like this isn’t gonna happen all the time most likely lmao UNLESS people start sending me requests!!

It was a hot summer day when you decided to take a trip to the pool with some of your friends. School had been out for a couple weeks and everyone was settling into their summer jobs. You worked at the clubhouse pool where all the high school kids hang out. Working there with you, was (c/n). He was a lifeguard. You worked as a waitress in the restaurant there. It had a big window wall that provides a great view to the pool for guests. Plus a good view of (c/n) for you.
Today was your day off. Usually on your days off you would hang out at home, but your friends wanted to get you out of the house so they came over to convince you into coming down to the pool. Knowing (c/n) would be there watching was nerve racking, but at the same time kind of sexy.
On the way to the clubhouse, your friends started asking questions.
“What’s it like working with him?”
“Does he flirt with you?”
“Oh please tell me you flirt with him.” You laughed.
“Oh my god you guys stop. I don’t see him that often, we work in different parts of the club.” You shrugged. Seeing their disappointed faces you decided to give them something.
“Mm but we do each lunch together in the break room.”
“AHHHH OMG WHAT” (y/b/f) exclaims.
“And all our shifts end at the same time so we walk out together.” (y/f/1) rolled her eyes.
“You guys are like basically dating.”
“Yea (y/n), he obviously likes you. He’s just too shy to admit it.” (y/f/2) added.
“Um, (c/n) is probably the more cocky person I know (y/f/2), I doubt that’s the case.” But thinking about it you started to smile.
***
When you and your friends got to the pool, you decided not to get in just yet and let yourself sunbath. You spread your towel out on the lounge chair and slowly peeled off your sun dress, revealing your new black swim suit that fit perfectly on your body. You could feel a pair of eyes burning into your back so you turned around to find (c/n), sitting up in his high chair, staring at you. He looked you up and down and smirked. Then he yelled across the pool.
“Lookin’ good (y/l/n)!” You blushed, but luckily he couldn’t tell.
“Not so bad yourself (c/l/n).” You yelled back. He brushed his shoulders off, making you laugh. You bent down to look in your bag for sunscreen and a magazine. You got the sunscreen out and almost put some in your hands when (c/n) walked up to you. He smirked and looked you up and down once more.
“Meant what I said (y/l/n).” You smirked back.
“So did I” you replied, letting your eyes wander to his abs and v line. You had always flirted like this. On breaks at lunch, on the way out, so this wasn’t a surprise.
“You need a hand?” He asked, pointing to the sunscreen. You blushed.
“I, er, don’t you have to work?” You asked.
“No uh, I got another lifeguard to cover for me. So?” Feeling a burst of confidence you replied,
“Sure.” He smiled and took the sun screen from your hands, pumping it into his own. You sat down at the edge of the chair, and he sat closely behind you. He started at your back, massaging the cool liquid into your skin. His hands moved agonizingly slow down your back, eventually reaching the waistline of your bikini. Then he moved back up and rubbed the sunscreen around your shoulders and down your arms. You shivered, and you could tell he was smiling. He had no idea the effect he had on you. All of a sudden, he got closer, and moved his hands around your waist, rubbing the sunscreen on your stomach and right above the waistline.
“Lean back.” He said.
“Hm? Why?”
“Just trust me.” You leant back into his embrace, and he started to move his hands up to your color bone. Your breath caught and you could hear him chuckle in your ear.
“Just relax, (y/n).” You closed your eyes and enjoyed the feeling of being so close to him. He gently let his fingers trail down your chest. You looked up at him and saw he looked very concentrated in what he was doing.
“You’re really beautiful (y/n), you know that?” he huskily whispered in your ear. His fingers were now drawing circles on your stomach. You shakily inhaled.
“I like you, (y/n).” He admitted quietly. Almost immediately you replied,
“I like you too.” (c/n) smiled and placed a soft kiss on your neck, that turned into a bite. You whimpered in pleasure and he chuckled, wrapping his arms around your waist.
"Babeeeee please come in the pool with me." Louis whined. He was your boyfriend of 3 months and still had no idea of your phobia of swimming.
"Louis I can’t and don’t want to." You said as you were flipping through a magazine.
"Why not? You have a swim suit on." He claimed looking at my black bikini my sister got me for my birthday.
"Thats because you forced me to." You stated. He climbs out of the pool and walks over to wear you are lying. He takes the magazine out of your hands and grabs your hands. He gently pulls you up and starts pulling to closer and closer to the pools edge.
"Louis please please please don’t push me in." You said but he kept pushing you.
"Louis please I don’t wanna go swimming." You said not wanting to admit your phobia but knowing it was going to come up soon.
"Why not?" He said but you were getting closer and closer to the edge.
"Because… Because… I’m…… You know…… Ummm…" You stuttered out. Finding it hard to put it into words. You watched as the edge of the pool crept closer and closer every second. You started to really get scared not knowing what to do. You felt like you couldn’t breath and felt tears in your eyes. You felt Louis pick you up knowing what was happening next you cried a lot harder. Louis noticed, and put you back on the ground. You could tell by his face he was concerned and mad with himself.
"Oh my gosh Y/N why are you crying? I was just messing around I’m sorry it was a bad idea . If you don’t want to go in I shouldn’t force you to go in. I’m such a horrible person. How could I be so terrible? Sorry I’m really so sorry—
"I’m afraid of swimming." You said, cutting him off.
"Oh my god I just basically tried to kill you from fright. It’s worse then I thought. I’M worse then I thought." You went in and hugged him hoping he would stop blaming himself.
"Louis it’s okay you didn’t know I should have told you earlier." You said into his chest.
"Do you want me to help you get over your fear?" He asked but there was no pressure in his voice.
"Okay." You whispered.
He took you to the shallow end and he walked down the stairs with you next to him holding his hand tightly. You slowly walked down each step till you were fully in the water. But you were only in the shallow end so that was to your waist.
"Good job Y/N" Louis congratulated.
"Louis I haven’t gone anywhere yet." You said.
"Well do you know how to swim?" He asked.
"Yes my parents forced me to learn." You admitted.
"So first just go under water." He said.
You slowly lowered yourself till it was just your face left above.
"Louis I can’t do this. " You said looking up at him.
" Okay here put these goggles on." He said handing you a pair and putting on his own. You gave him a questioning look but put them on anyway.
"Now we will go under together and you will see me and know there is nothing to worry about." He said. He lowered himself so his head was just above the water.
"Okay 1…..2……" He counted down.
"3" he said and he was under. You looked down under the water and saw him looking up at you. You finally went under and saw him smiling at you and giving you a thumbs up. He went back up for air and you followed.
"See it wasn’t that bad was it?" He said.
"No." You admitted
"Actually I liked it." You said smiling.
" Are you okay now? Like comfortable like splashing around and games now?" He asked. You thought about it and then nodded.
"In that case…" He said grabbing your hands and pulling you under. He put his hands around your back pulling you closer and kissed you. I guess under water wasn’t the worst place to be. Especially right now.
